A lovely pub for a warming drink in the winter in front of the log burner, or in the garden in the summer. Check the events as they have classic cars, super cars etc some Sundays. It can get very busy.

Chillenden Windmill is one of only four post mills to survive in Kent, and the last one with an open trestle. It was built in 1868 to replace an earlier post mill, and extensively rebuilt following storm damage in October 2003. The windmill is painted white and had two pairs of millstones and a flour dresser.
